Description    


As part of the Lower Columbia River chum reintroduction project, field-based surveys were completed to assess existing summer habitat conditions (one year) and juvenile outmigrant status (two years) for chum (as well as other salmonids present: coho, Chinook, steelhead) in the Scappoose and Clatskanie watersheds of Oregon, in the Lower Columbia River sub-domain. These data will be used to identify potential reintroduction and habitat restoration sites for chum, as well as ground-truth data indicating that chum are functionally extirpated in Oregon.

Project Benefit    


This project functions to implement the Lower Columbia River Conservation and Recovery Plan for Oregon Populations of Salmon and Steelhead. Information and analysis provided by the monitoring program are essential for implementing and evaluating chum salmon reintroduction. The monitoring data provides information about abundance, productivity, survival, distribution, diversity, and viability of salmon and steelhead in support of conservation and recovery implementation.

          Description of monitoring
          This project collects adults and juveniles with various types of traps within specific tributaries. Adults are identified to species, sexed, measured and counted. Juveniles are identified to species, weighed measured and counted. Chum salmon are the primary targets for these surveys, but information for coho, Chinook, and steelhead will also be collected.
